Guest Reviews
- Mavrokefalidou (10/5): -
- Miriam (9/5): Fantastische slaapplek op een top locatie! - Heerlijke bedden en een toplocatie! Kamers aan een mooie binnentuin met wijnbar. Gezellig ingericht en schoon.
- Hing Ying (10/5): - The place was very clean and comfortable. it is located near the sight seeing area so it was easy to get to the places to look around Ghent. Outside the room is a terrace that served as a drinking bar daily until 11pm. it was quite noisy when people talking out there but I wanted to get some sleep earlier.
- Lorna (9/5): Great boutique hotel very close to the city centre - The location was great, very near everything especially the city centre. There was a grocery store and many restaurants nearby. I think a small fridge would have been good.
- Amaury (8/5): -
- Davena (9/5): Arty guesthouse in a fabulous location. - This guest house has a wonderful warm atmosphere, artfully decorated, lovely staff and in a great location. The bar that forms part of the guest house is very noisy. There is a noise limit of 11pm but at times the noise exceeded what was comfortable for the guests.

- Streisand (9/5): Amazing! - Beautiful place. Well maintained Only small thing is somtimes you would hear the water running and we had to turn the sink faucet closed when we turned it closed an hour to later.
- Elaine (10/5): - Perfect . Host was very accommodating . Room was beautiful and comfortable . Bar next door was top notch and staff very friendly . Location . In busy area but off the main drag so quiet .
- Anouk (8/5): - Alles was perfect! Kleine opmerking: wel spijtig dat onze Tv verbinding middenin een programma uitviel en het ook gedaan was voor de rest van de avond. Voor de rest alles zeker naar wens.
Locatie is zalig!
- JHIH KUEI (9/5): -
- Fotios Arvanitis (10/5): - Excellent location and accomodation. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I will choose the property again in a future stay. Thank you!
- Lieze (10/5): Super verblijf in hartje Gent. - De ligging, het gemak van inchecken, de netheid, de gezelligheid van de kamer, de inrichting,...
- Binke (9/5): Prachtige afgewerkte comfortabele kamer op een top locatie! - Prachtige kamer met oog voor detail, top afwerking, volledig in dezelfde stijl van de goudkleurige kapstokken tot de waterkaraf. Geweldige locatie, super vriendelijke gastheer, stille en donkere kamer met een comfortabel bed. Aanrader!
- Demmenie (8/5): Fijn verblijf! - Fijn personeel, beleefd.
Midden in het centrum van Gent alles op loopafstand! Goede bedden,
Mooie kamer. Leuke wijnbar die aansluit
Bij de accommodatie Was wel erg
Rumoerig,
Ondanks dat was alles goed geregeld!
- Eline (9/5): Super fijn verblijf gehad met erg vriendelijk personeel! - Super mooie kamer, schoon, fijn bed en een lekkere douch Alles was goed
- Li Chun (9/5): -
- Benjamin (9/5): Great location - Very central location. Clean, smartly designed small room. Coffee facilities provided. Pleasant staff. It is slightly oddly located just off the wine bar terrace. Which wasn’t a problem for me but might not be ideal if you want an early night.
- lika (9/5): - The room was very comfortable, clean, and beautifully designed. Despite being in the heart of the city and located on the first floor right next to a wine bar, it was still very cozy and quiet. The staff was also very helpful and let us store our luggage after check-out. While we didn't have breakfast at the hotel, there are plenty of high-quality bakeries and breakfast spots nearby. There were just two minor points we’d suggest improving. Since our room was on the first floor, the partition door was quite noisy, and the sound of it opening at night traveled easily into the room. Additionally, there was an open pitcher of water waiting for us; while it was likely fresh, we would have felt much more comfortable with sealed bottled water for hygiene reasons. These are small details, but addressing them would certainly enhance the guest experience.
- Jamie (9/5): Echt een geweldige locatie bij een wijnbar midden in hartje Gent. - Locatie en accommodatie Niks
- Guanyu (9/5): -
- Ian (10/5): Lovely place in a great location! - Lovely place in a great location. The rooms are spotlessly clean, and well equipped. The bar next door is a great place to have a drink before or after you go out. I’d highly recommend a stay. Nothing
- Gerrit (10/5): - Great location, super clean, nice soap, easy access, friendly and helpful host. nothing, everything was perfect

- Marco (8/5): -
- Anna (9/5): - A lovely cosy place. I most enjoyed the wine bar, really welcoming bar staff and the wine was excellent. It was nice to be in a place where locals go. Nothing.
- Peter (9/5): -

- Samina (10/5): Cosy and cute stay - Lovely birthday stay! Conveniently located - close to shops, cafes, restaurants, supermarket and the sites. Very clean room and bathroom. Loved the toasty, warm feeling when coming inside from the cold! The room smelt lovely and is decorated very cosily. It’s a small guest house, so you get the personal touches. Carine and her husband were very friendly. And invited us for a drink at their Parole wine bar which is on site. I highly recommend a visit to the wine bar, it’s very nicely done up.
- Lee (10/5): -
- Jessica (9/5): Great location and nice hotel! - Nice property and good location, close the the Christmas market and beside in a nice commercial street with a lot of amazing boutique.
The finished and style are great! I found the room a bit small. I did book a room for one without realizing the bed was a single bed but I found the room a bit small.
- Mirte (9/5): Prachtig, midden in het centrum - Leuk ingedeeld, leuke stijl.
- amanda (10/5): Estancia en gante de ensueño - Hotel perfecto!!! Excelente ubicación, todo súper limpio, decoración preciosa....no le falta detalle!!! El personal super amable!! Nos invitaron a un vino en el bar del hotel, un detalle muy bonito!!! Nada...todo de 10
- Craig (9/5): -
- Seda (7/5): - Konumu çok güzel. Güvenli, temiz bir sokakta. Köşesinde harika kruvasanları olan bir pastane var. Self check-in süreci kolaydı. Yatak oldukça rahat ve tertemizdi. Banyosu da geniş ve temizdi. Otel konseptinde olmadığını biliyorduk ancak kulak çubuğu, duş bonesi gibi hijyen ürünlerinin konulması gerektiğini düşünüyorum. Avrupa otellerinde tek kullanımlık terlik olmaması ciddi bir eksiklik. 2 gece kaldığımız için sorun olmadı ancak raflı bir dolap olmaması uzun süreli konaklamalarda sorun olabilir. Oda 2 katlı, ama üst katın pek bir fonksiyonu yok, dolayısıyla küçük bir konaklama alanı var.
- Alan (7/5): Good - Comfy, clean. Great location. A lot of noise from the people staying upstairs - could hear every time they moved about the room.
- ANIL (9/5): -
- Angus (10/5): Truly Excellent; Stay Here and Drink Wine - Cannot recommend enough, this place was such a beautiful place to stay and felt so luxurious, while being right in the centre of everything. Additionally, the wine bar that it is connected to is wonderful, with a really nice selection of wines and great ambience. And all of this for a very affordable price. If you aren't familiar with European windows, ask about it; The "doors" can be opened in a way to give a little breeze without being "open", but we had some issues with steam from the shower before we figured that out.
- Justin (7/5): Ok if you don’t mind staying in a wine bar. - Great location , nice decor, easy guidance to check in. Room nicely decorated . Coffee
Machine was great but no milk. To get to the location meant dragging suitcases half a mile through the city. You are also basically staying in the back of a bar. Room wasn’t made up while we stayed for the weekend. We Had the ground floor room overlooking court yard it felt very exposed so kept shutters closed. Room was stuffy and towels need replacement as they are not great. Nice enough but we wouldnt stay again . There are nicer options nearby for the money.
- Anita (9/5): - SÜSSES Hotel. Ein kleiner Geheimtip. Tür im Flur kompliziert zu öffnen.
- Elke Gebruers (10/5): -
- Irmak (10/5): Perfect location, comfy stay - The hosts were super friendly and helpful. If we’re in Ghent again, definitely gonna stay there. We stayed at th Chocolate room.
- Sandra (8/5): Super verblijf - Goede locatie, mooie kamer. Leuke wijnbar We stonden bij de verkeerde deur. Bordje is slecht te zien
- Helene (10/5): - L'emplacement et le confort
Très jolie deco
- Thomas (8/5): -
- Jean (10/5): -
- Amish Raj (10/5): Excellent hotel close to Belfry in Ghent - A charming hotel room with great interiors and aesthetically pleasing. It is located close to the Belfry tower and the old city. It was perfect for our two day stay in Ghent.
- Verbanck (8/5): Uitstekend. - Niet van toepassing. Genoeg winkels in de buurt.
- Nathan (9/5): Lovely room and centrally located. - The room had a beautiful interior and was clean, with a large bathroom and modern facilities. The guesthouse is centrally located, and although there were no staff, there was a good level of communication. I was messaged well in advance of the door codes and instructions on how to find the guesthouse. We were also given a free drink in the wine bar, which was a nice touch.
- Rachel (9/5): La chambre était magnifique, spacieuse et parfaitement équipée -
- Susan (9/5): Really enjoyed our stay - Lovely new room- with modern fittings.
A range of excellent toiletries.
Next door - the owners bar- lovely gin and tonic- which she treated us to!
Good guide of local restaurants in the room folder.
- Luke (9/5): -
- John (8/5): -
- Claudia (10/5): Voor herhaling vatbaar - Hele mooie kamer boven in het huis met een apart zitje bovenin. Warme sfeer, netjes en schoon. Wijnbar beneden ook erg sjiek en heerlijke rosé op.
Bij vertrek onze koffer laten staan zodat we de stad nog in konden. Alleen bij terugkomst deed de code het niet meer. Dat was na een telefoontje gelijk verholpen! Helemaal super! Niets
- Greg (6/5): Excellent room let down by awful bathroom odour - Comfortable bed, great location, quiet The awful drain smell in the toilet
- Jennifer (6/5): - Die Lage der Unterkunft war perfekt, direkt in der Stadt. Die Einrichtung wirkt hochwertig und hat unseren Geschmack getroffen. Das Bett war leider super weich und sehr durchgelegen, sodass uns das Bett ab der ersten Nacht Rückenschmerzen beschwert hat.
Das Bett hat leider den sonst sehr positiven Eindruck der Unterkunft zerstört.
Die Unterkunft ist über einer Wendeltreppe an der Außenwand zu erreichen. Es wäre schön, wenn die Information schon in der Zimmerbeschreibung oder der Vorabinformationen gestanden hätte.
- Birgit (10/5): Gern wieder - Schöner grosser Raum, besondere Farbgestaltung und mit sehr schöner Einrichtung, kl. Kaffeemaschine, Wasserkaraffe,
- lisa (9/5): We will definitely use Hotel Margo again. - Great location near the centre of Ghent.
Owners were welcoming offering us a glass of wine in their fabulous wine bar next door.
Room was lovely with tea and coffee facilities.
The welcoming email gave us all we needed to enjoy our stay. Be aware if the wine bar is closed it is hard to find the rooms. We walked past 3 times before noticing the discreet sign. The hotel pictures you see are behind a wooden door.
- Catherine (9/5): - Great location,good instructions sent for check in and directions . Accommodation is linked to a wine bar which which was very good. Artisan patisserie end of street for breakfast and a lovely Italian restaurant opposite the Accommodation. Lovely toiletries in the bathroom . Could have been some uht milk mini cartons left which we then had to purchase for tea and coffee. There was a smell of drains in the bathroom which the owners were trying to sort out. Larger and softer towels would also be helpful.
- Julie (9/5): -
- Gunnhild (10/5): - Central, accomodating and very friendly
- Robert (8/5): Very nice accommodation, except for patio bar. Great location to all amenities - The patio bar adjacent to our room made it difficult to get to sleep.
- Laura (10/5): -
- Aart (8/5): -
- Paul (10/5): leuk weekend - heel vriendelijke mooi en gezellige
- Morten (8/5): -
- Elke (9/5): - Sehr gute Infos und unkomplizierte schnelle Kommunikation, tolle Lage mitten im Zentrum, spezielle Unterkunft mit nur 3 Zimmern, stilvolle Einrichtung. -
- Fabien (9/5): Lieu convivial et chaleureux, chambre superbe - J'ai aime l'emplacement du lieu,la possibilite de profiter de supers endroits tels que le Parole. La chambre est a quelques minutes de distance de toute activite. J'ai reellement apprecie. Merci encore pour la convivialite des hotes. Rien a noter. L'endroit etait vraiment top.
- Twan (8/5): -
- James (10/5): Perfect - lovely room , close to all the areas of interest in the beautiful city of Ghent - Great location and well designed room It was all great and being adjoined to the Parole Bar which is a lovely wine bar with courtyard was a bonus
- Laila (1/5): Worst stay I’ve had. - Nice bathroom and products. - hard to find. We were not the only guests who had a hard time finding the location. There was another guest who was wandering outside trying to find it as well.
- our room was in chocolat. There is a spiral staircase leading up to the room outside so we had to haul two large pieces of luggage up there ourselves.
- the bed was lumpy and too warm. The room didn’t cool down all night and the ceiling fan kept squeaking constantly so we got no sleep. I messaged the hotel on booking.com explaining the situation and asking for a partial refund but they refused and even said they checked the thermostat and said it was 21c all night - which was untrue because the thermostat was constantly 25c. So we had to move to a different hotel our second night without any compensation.
- sofie (9/5): We hebben genoten van de mooi ingerichte en luxueuze kamer, midden in de het centrum en voelden ons heel welkom! - Heel stijlvolle kamer, de ligging was perfect, en het bed was zalig. We vonden het ook heel attent dat we een drankje aangeboden kregen op het terras. Het aanliggende terras van de wijnbar vonden we soms een beetje vervelend qua privacy en geluid. Maar anderzijds was het ook aangenaam om zelf even te zitten en iets te drinken.
- Patricia (8/5): A well located well presented and inviting property - A small secure well appointed comfortable room for a solo traveller
Don’t be put off by my negative comments as it’s a lovely property with a warm and friendly host and hostess in a perfectly located position to explore the delights of Ghent. Bonbon room: For me the lighting was too dim (mood lighting). The best light for makeup was in the mirror in the toilet. Because I have claustrophobia I struggled with the lack of light and the need to have the curtains drawn for privacy and the lack of a horizon. All personal problems that some else likely wouldn’t notice
Had I looked further into the placement of the room Bonbon I wouldn’t have booked it. The biggest negative being that it opens onto the courtyard of the Wine Bar where people relax and converse until 11pm. There is no double glazing consequently you are party to others conversations. I had to ask a woman to move her chair so I could get out the door.
- Robert (7/5): Excellent location. Very happy with the accommodation. -
- Andrew (9/5): We had a great stay and the property is in an ideal location - Great Place to stay
- Macer (10/5): Great location. Very friendly host. Clean and comfortable. Entirely satisfied.. Will return. - Small, quiet, friendly
- Victoria (10/5): Absolute perfection - I loved everything about this exquisite little hotel. The location is perfect - on a quiet side street in the middle of the historical city center. My room (the bonbon) was absolute perfection. It had a super comfy bed and lots of room to move around. All of the amenities and facilities were exceptional, from the n'espresso coffee maker (with two kinds of pods) to the soaps (better than the high end products I use at home) and the luxurious rain shower, which was one of the nicest I've ever experienced. The toilet was in its own separate room from the shower, on the other side of the bedroom and with its own bespoke sink, a super elegant design touch in an accommodations intended for just one person. Huge floor-to-ceiling windows, which let in a lot of light, opened onto a secluded courtyard in which I only ever saw two other very quiet people for a short period of time. Communication with the host was perfect. (I also had a chance to meet her in person and she is very kind. She even offered to keep the wine bar open late just for me if I wanted, though I would never impose like that.) Independent access to the building and my room was very easy using the information provided to me in advance, and convenient, safe luggage storage is available after (or prior to) check-out, making it perfect for a short stay as well as a long visit. There's no other place I would rather stay in Ghent than here. Nothing could have been better.
- Gareth (8/5): Very good - Great room in central location. Hotel is shared with a bar with a courtyard that could be noisy. PIN for the door only worked after check in time so weren't able to leave bags beforehand.
- Maria (9/5): Superb - Amazingly charming place, fantastic location. everything was perfect
- Christy (7/5): Great location, NO WINE BAR - The location was amazing, and the decor was beautiful. The room was immaculate with daily room service, the water pressure in the shower was great, and the bed was so comfortable.
Continued contact with owners was easy. We were not aware that the ONLY access to our room 'Chocolat' was by a steep outside spiral staircase located in the courtyard. The spiral staircase was extremely difficult to navigate with suitcases, and especially after enjoying the city.
A huge reason we chose this location was because of the Wine Bar, Parole, which is located on the ground floor, sharing the courtyard and mentioned on the hotel website. Parole is closed except for private events.
- Jane (8/5): Great location for sightseeing. Nice quiet room with access to little courtyard. Comfy bed. - More information about the room facilities. TV
And control for ceiling fan.
- Chris (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lucy (9/5): Superb - Fantastic location. Very comfy bed, very clean. Bathroom immaculate and products smelled lovely! Bed made and fresh towels every day. Wine/beer garden right next to room was quite loud and felt like they could hear/see us if we could them!
Would have been nice to have a fridge in room for water as it was a heatwave. Wish windows could open for fresh air - or maybe air con
- Cara (10/5): Cool, relaxed, welcoming, all of the above! - Bottom line - we can’t wait to stay again!!! Our stay was utterly faultless. Firstly, the communication prior to arrival was great. Secondly, the building itself is perfectly designed, and in a fabulous location. The room was impeccable and had everything we needed with the addition of fabulous and considered design (and great toiletries!). A big tick for the comfy bed and bedding too! The building also has its own wine bar and courtyard which really blew us away, the guys couldn’t have been more welcoming and helpful pointing us towards great places to eat (given it was a Tuesday, very late and we hadn’t booked they pulled it out the bag!), and the generosity and choice of the wine was an added bonus : ). We will MOST DEFINITELY be staying again when we return to Ghent, which hopefully won’t be too long…! Thank you for having us! Nothing!!!
- Joanne (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lei (8/5): Very good -
- Harsha (10/5): Exceptional -
- Maria (10/5): Cosy, beautiful stay. - The location, it was really clean and comfortable, also the privacy was great. The check-in was really easy, all instructions were provided. The place was beautiful overall. The stairs can be uncomfortable for luggage, but they have an internal elevator at disposition
- Aemrudee (10/5): Very good location, close to the tram station, shopping area, and the historic center. The place is well design and cozy - location, interior decoration, comfort bed, and friendly host.
